Here's my fourth and final manicure for this month's animal theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative. I originally wanted to recreate another person's animal manicure but instead I went and did some stamping instead. This has to be one of my favorite nail art designs I've done so far for 2015 too. Its simple but I think I executed it really well.

I used Barielle Swizzle Stix on all the nails. Topped it off with Finger Paints Flashy. I stamped with Born Pretty Stamping Polish in Black with BP-16 from Born Pretty Store. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off your order. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

I just love these! This stamping plate from Born Pretty Store has to be one of my new favorites. I just love all the animal theme designs on it. What do you think?

Pandas in the Forest

Here's my third manicure for this month's animal theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative. I attempted another double stamping manicure and I quite like how they turned out. I stamped on some leafy designs on as the background and then stamped on pandas and foot prints.

I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on all the nails. First, I stamped with China Glaze Starboard with BP-L001 from Born Pretty Store. For the pandas, I stamped with Born Pretty Stamping Polish in Black with BM-424. You can use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off your order from Born Pretty Store. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

Aren't these so cute? I just love how everything came together. What do you think?

Twinsie Tuesday: Polish Received in a Swap

Today's Twinise Tuesday theme is a polish received in a swap. To be honest, I've never done a polish swap with anyone before I don't have polish to share that fits into that category. Instead I went with a polish I purchased from another person online.

I used Cameo Colors Lacquers Unicorn Farts on all the nails. I stamped with Born Pretty Stamping Polish in Black with BP-L003 from Born Pretty Store. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off your order. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

I wasn't 100% happy with how the stamping turned out here but it sort of works. It took me around three coats to get the base color to be almost completely opaque and I just love how it looks. What do you think?

Light Blue Leafy Pattern with Bow Stud

Happy Monday Blues! Right now, I barely have enough posts to last me a week but I'm going to try to create some more soon. With classes and all of the projects I have going on, its sometimes hard to find the time to do my nails. But enough about that, let's see today's nail art.

I used Essie Bikini So Teeny on the all nails except the ring. I stamped with American Apparel Neon Blue with BP-L003 from Born Pretty Store. For the ring, I used All That Glitters Not 2Nite and then I applied a bow stud from Born Pretty Store on top. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off your order. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

The stamping was surprisingly very nice. As you can see, the American Apparel polish I used to stamp was kind of sheer but I did like the look it gave. What do you think?

Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar Inspired Nails

Here's my second manicure for this month's animal theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative. As you can probably tell from the title of this post, I got inspiration for these nails from the Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar I received from Kastella Beauty Company. The packaging on it was too cute that I had to create a manicure inspired by it.

I used Sally Hansen I Pink I Can on all the nails except the ring. On top of that, I applied a coat of Nina Ulta Pro Holographic Topcoat. For the ring nail, I used Salon Perfect Sugar Cube. I created the pink bunny with Sally Hansen I Pink I Can, a black striper from Born Pretty Store and a dotting tool. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

These turned out so cute! I wished I had more space that I included all of the bunny's facial features but I'm still really happy with it. The glitter I used here is also one of my all time favorites because it always looks so good on any base color. What do you think?

Twinsie Tuesday: Match Your Nails to Your Purse

Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is to match your nails to your purse. My purse is just plain back with a star charm chain on one of the zippers on the outside. I got inspiration to do some simple galaxy looking nails from it. As you can probably tell, I've been really into stamping lately so I'm using a plate from Born Pretty Store that has a star pattern on it.

I used Orly Androgynie on all the nails. I stamped with OPI Glitzerland with BP-03 from Born Pretty Store. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

I really should look into getting a better gold stamping polish. The stamping is barely noticeable here. What do you think?

Blue Holographic and White Stamping

Happy Monday Blues! Today, I'm sharing a simple stamping manicure with glitter and a big bow stud to it. Nothing too fancy and it was just something that was thrown together last minute.

I used FNUG Futuristica on all the nails except the ring and thumb. I stamped with Milani White On The Spot with BM-319. For the ring and thumb, I used Essie Borrowed & Blue and topped it off with Orly Spazmatic. I also applied a bow stud from Born Pretty Store on the thumb. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off your order. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

I thought these turned out alright. I really like that big bow stud here but I wished it came in a smaller size. The only nail I can wear it on is my thumb just because its way to big to place anywhere else. What do you think?

Double Stamped Pink and Red Hearts

I wanted to do at least one proper Valentine's Day nail art so here's one that I'm sharing today. I've seen others stamp over a crelly polish and I've always wanted to give it a try. I also tried double stamping for the first time here too.

I used Funky Fingers Jawbreaker on all the nails. I double stamped with OPI Pink Friday and American Apparel Downtown LA with BM-317. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

I love these so much! I did wish the pink stamping was more noticeable on the nails here but overall, these still look cute regardless. What do you think?

Brown and Purple Leopard Print

Here's my first manicure for this month's theme of animals for The Nail Challenge Collaborative. I went with some easy leopard print nails since its been a long time since I've done one. The color scheme I used here is fairly neutral too which makes it pretty wearable.

I used China Glaze Dress Me Up on all the nails. The leopard print was created with a dotting tool using a combination of Barielle Cashmere Or Loose Me and Essie Smokin' Hot. Finished with a coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

It was really cloudy the day I took these pictures so they aren't the best quality but I still really like how these look. What do you think?

I also like that you almost have a complete skincare routine in this box with the types of products you get here. What do you think of the Memebox Brighten & Correct Box? Have you tried Memebox yet?

Twinsie Tuesday: Anti-Valentine's Day

Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is Anti-Valentine's Day. I did go with the traditional red and pink colors for these nails but made them feel more anti-Valentine's Day with the design I created here. This gave me the opportunity to use some of my shatter polishes too.

I used OPI Just a Little Rosti at This on all the nails except the ring. Then I applied a combination of OPI Red Shatter and OPI Pink Shatter on top. For the ring, I used Salon Perfect Sugar Cube. I created a heart and patches using OPI Black Shatter. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

I had no idea where I was going with this manicure. It turned out kind of bloody to me and hopefully, it fit into the anti-Valentine's Day theme. What do you think?
